Quotes about New Vs Old

Craig Federighi

New is easy. Right is hard.

H. G. Wells

A young mistress is better than an old master.

Grant Morrison

X-Men is not a story about superheroes, but a story about the ongoing revolutionary struggle between good/new and bad/old.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

Winston Churchill

When a new book appears one should read an old one.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

In science, address the few; in literature, the many. In science, the few must dictate opinion to the many; in literature, the many, sooner or later, force their judgment on the few…. In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature, the oldest.

1st Baron Lytton of Knebworth. This non democratic nature of science causes politicians in a democracy difficulty in many situations. In Southern communities where there are a high percentage of Fundamentalist Christians over 60 percent of the citizens are convinced that The Theory of Evolution is not only in error but is a negative force in society and should not be taught in schools. Yet virtually all the biological scientists—a small minority of the population tell the politicians the contrary, and that Evolution is one of the most important aspects of their science. Many politicians have trouble coping with this type of problem—go with the few or the many.

Baltasar Gracian

A brand new mediocrity is thought more of than accustomed excellence.

Lewis Mumford

For most Americans, progress means accepting what is new because it is new, and discarding what is old because it is old.

Dean Inge

"This is old, therefore it is good"; the other says, "This is new, therefore it is better."

Prince Philip

Books are certainly old fashioned, but only people with a very limited perception are silly enough to condemn ideas because of their age. It is, of course, equally silly to condemn the new fangled simply because it is strange.
